Kudos to Teeman for the Sig"You remember that chap a few years ago, climbed Everest with no oxygen, came down nearly dead...they asked him why he went up there to die. He said I didn't, I went up there to live."

Hopefully, for the fans in Canada, TSN will show the entire game instead of joining halfway through due to the Masters, as they did for Game 1....

On a brighter note, this will be a great game. I think Detroit benefits from a guy like Nichol not playing. Although Legwand is more skilled, he's going to have a degree of rust, and he's not going to work the detroit dmen like Nichol. But, who cares about that.....let's see a win today!

Actually, TSN won't be carrying the game because it'll be on NBC. But I think I speak for all Canadian when I thank you for your concern.

Anyways, I'll be at this game. First career playoff game so I'm mostly losing my mind from excitement. I've got a good feeling about this game. Big win tonite baaabyyy.

GO WINGS!

It seems like a lot of the focus is on McCarty today, as the Free Press has two different pieces on him. I'm still waiting for him to score in these playoffs, and have the roof explode on Joe Louis Arena.

I essentially live for afternoon playoff games, so this should be fun.
